This forum has been very helpful in the past, so I am wondering if anyone has seen this issue with installing PAW.

I am looking to upgrade my TM1 installation from 10.2.2 to Planning Analytics 2.0. I am testing the installation on a laptop running Windows 10 Pro before setting up a new server for it. I have the basic TM1 components installed and Perspectives is working in Excel.

I would like to test PAx and, as far as I can tell, I need to install Planning Analytics Workspace 2.0.5 in order to use PAx. Since this is on Windows 10 (not Server), I have installed Docker before the PAW install. When running the Start.bat file, I receive the following error:

Installing PAW has been the biggest headache every time around. I am not sure if you can really do it on a personal computer with Windows 10. You may need to look in the backend or do some research if you are able to create virual machines within windows 10 on your computer.

Also, make sure you are running the .bat file as an administrator. Make sure you read the "readme.txt" file and download the appropriate files that need to go into the docker folder. You have to have docker installed first before you run the start.bat file as well.

As wheeler6 has said, PAW is a right royal PITA, at EVERY turn. Whilst TM1 Server can run on Windows 10, I suspect you will have issues with Windows 10 and PAW.

I ended up going down the Hyper-V path with Windows Server 2016 Standard VM running on Windows 10 Pro laptop (host). Whilst Windows 2016 Standard Hyper-V runs with a light memory footprint, once you spin up PAW (Docker-based) your VM will jump up from 4-5gb to around 15+gb even for a clean skin PAW environment. My laptop has 32gb RAM so it is not an issue for me.

Note it needs to be Windows Server 2016 Standard, as Docker does not {yet} support Windows Server 2016 Essentials

I've had exactly the same bootlocal error a few times installing PAW, as dr.nybble says it is to do with the latest version of Docker Toolbox but I had to go back to a much older version, v.1.12.5, to get it to install correctly - but after that it was fine.

I have installed PAW a few times now both directly on a Windows 10 PC and running a VM with Server 2016. As others have said, it is an utter PITA everytime, but it is possible.
